Garden Therapy will be held at St. Andrews Village on Tuesday, March 6 at 11 a.m.

A round-table will be held at St. Columba's Episcopal Church on Wednesday, March 14 at noon. Have you ever wondered why folks are worried about invasive plants, how they got here in the first place, and if they really are harmful to the ecosystem? If so join us at the round-table prior to the March General Meeting.

Hildy Ellis, Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District program manager, will share her knowledge about some of the plants “from away,” their effects on our natural ecosystems, and why you may not find some of your old favorites at the garden center in 2018. She will also offer a few tips on what you can do about invasives in your home landscape and supply resources for non-invasive landscape plants that are not only beautiful, but beneficial to our friendly backyard insects and beloved songbirds. Ellis has a BS in horticulture from University of Maine, where she also conducted graduate research on an invasive population of Euonymus alatus (burning bush) in Maine. She gardens with native plants in Camden, and is a big fan of ferns and bogs.

At the general meeting at the church on March 14 at 1 p.m., Nancy Stedman and her husband, owners of a 110-acre organic farm called Little River Farm, will talk about how they grow beautiful flowers for weddings and abundant vegetables for eating and crafting. They participate in craft shows and the prestigious Philadelphia Flower Show. Nancy will also demonstrate the “how to” of gourd crafting and will also have on exhibit some of her jewelry, bird houses, animals, special containers and more! Don't miss this meeting and bring your guests!
